Awkward Lifts

Whoever puts in the exercise equipment in gyms must have a sense of humor.

Whenever I’m at the gym and get onto a machine, I seem to be face-to-face with another person. This wouldn’t be so bad, in fact it TYPICALLY gives you greater incentive to keep good form, complete all your reps, etc.

Except for one particular set up.

One of the machines you get on and pull back weight, like a backwards chest press. Directly facing you is a leg spreader machine, where girls typically work out on to increase their thigh strength. Essentially they are opening and closing their legs, meanwhile I’m in front of them thrusting.

Welcome to the most awkward moment of my life – every day.
